What is the email for Amazon customer service? Are you guys placing the preorder before asking for a discount?

And the moment where Laurie and the Shape are face to face for the first time after 20 years is iconic. A great piece of cinematic history.

Halloween 4 is also pretty good. The other films in the series are guilty pleasures for me, except Resurrection which is just a complete write off.

my rating would be,from best to worst
halloween
halloween h20
halloween 4
halloween 2
halloween 3
halloween 6
halloween 5
rob zombie 1
rob zombie 2
ressurection

Don't forget to include a bunch of these things:

I'm looking forward to the inevitable torrent of complaints about imperceptible scuffs and dents in the packaging.

[Ferg]

I'll be watching in the proper sequential order. Parts 3, 5 and 6 are ones I'm really looking forward to watching, particularly the Producer's Cut and it's features.

It's going to be a great Halloween.

[moviecriticsonline]

I'll most likely watch The Producer's Cut first, also known as the "Go Screw Yourself Joe Chappelle Edition".

Looking forward to this amazing set.

I've been on Google trying to find some reviews..........nothing

with box sets like these...some people will literally watch every disc. so that would explain why there aren't many reviews just yet. of course i'm sure some will just watch the new stuff and "repeat" review comments for the rest.

either way i imagine by the weekend there will be a few up..and then more will pop up shortly after release.

Oh, Man, I just listened to Now Playing's Podcast critique of Halloween III. I wanted to defend it so much to them. They brought up some good points but their hate for the film also blinded them to some of the good aspects which led them to missing some things in the film. Ah well, I know it's not a great movie but holds some nice nostalgia for me.

I agree that Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers and Halloween H20 are both solid movies. That fourth movie is pretty fierce, from what I remember.

All of the Halloween movies have their moments, except for the two Rob Zombie films, which I'm not into. It's just that the first two movies are the ones that I'd keep returning to over and over again, because of both Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Pleasence. I'm looking forward to revisiting the second film later this evening.

Excited for this. I ordered mine from shoutfactory with the lithograph.

Now Playing really sucks in their reviews of the Halloween series. However, when they actually LIKE the movie they are reviewing they are enjoyable. Check of The Shining.

I have no idea who this guy is, but why would he be pumping Criterion? Did they release Halloween on BD? Are they going to release Halloween on BD? If not, then I see no reason for Criterion to even be mentioned here.

They probably took him to the juicing room afterwards. I find it funny that they actually who the actor and not a double since you can't see his face.


Also I swear Anchor Bay and Scream sent out a note with all copies and told reviewers to be a vague as possible.

The Zombie films do have their moments. While not out and out successes, at least they are films with some interesting ideas which is more than I can say about Resurrection.

But I do hear ya on the first two Halloween films. I've probably seen those and H20 more than any of the other installments.

[EvilResident]

I'll be watching the tv cuts of 1 and 2, since I haven't seen them, followed by the rest in order (producer's cut of 6.)

My favorites in order are

1, 3, RZH 1&2, 4, 2, 6, H20, 5 and Ressurection.

[dlshelt]

Even though Tina was annoying in Halloween 5, I can still tolerate her more than anyone in the remake of Halloween.................and why the hell was Harris dressed like a gypsy in the remake.Zombie please move beyond the 70's,there were other decades you know.
